Deservedly or not, Satya Nadella will look like a genius in the aftermath. He has and will continue to leverage this situation to strengthen MSFT's position. Is there word of any other competitors attempting to capitalize here? Trying to poach talent? Anything...

After Balmer I couldn’t have imagined such competency from Microsoft.

>>godzil+aB
After Ballmer, competency can only be higher at Microsoft.

Ballmer honestly wasn't that bad. He gave executive backing to Azure and the larger Infra push in general at MSFT.

Search and Business Tools were misses, but they more than made up for it with Cloud, Infra, and Security.

Also, Nadella was Ballmer's pick.

Also, Nadella last month repudiated his own decision to cancel Windows Phone. Purchasing Nokia was one of the last things Ballmer did.
